Volkswagen's Active Info Display, gives you greater access to Vehicle information than ever before.
​
The Active Info Display takes place of traditional instrumentation behind the steering wheel. This High-Definition Display uses a 12.3" Screen with configurable views. Choose from Maps, Vehicle Information, Driver Assistance, Off- Road and Vehicle Performance Functions. Use the multi-function steering wheel to adjust the Active Info Display to your personal Preferences. 

The Leather Wrapped Multi-Function Steering Wheel is not only comfortable to grip on long journeys but gives you the ability to stay in charge of your vehicles technology while on the move. You are able to access and control your vehicles Bluetooth,  Cruise or Adaptive Cruise Control, Active Info Display and Driving Information. Control Radio Stations and volumes as well as setting your speed limiter and answering phone calls. 

Volkswagen's Glass Covered Touchscreen is an 8 inch High Definition Colour Display which connects intuitively to the infotainment system.  Using the easily accessible menu buttons gives you access to Naviagtion, the App-Connect Menu, Media Menu, Important vehicle information, the Radio, Phone and Voice Commands. Gesture Control allows you to change radio stations and make adjustments using only gestures.  

Mitsubishi's Super Select 4WD System provides comfort and confidence when you need it, allowing your vehicle to adapt to each surface underneath you. Super Select give you four settings to choose from, each suited to individual driving conditions. 

2H (2WD High Range)

When in 2H power is sent solely to the rear axle where it is distributed by an open rear differential. This mode is best suited to open road use and dry weather urban use where low traction situations are unlikely to occur. 

4H (Full Time 4WD)

When switched across to 4WD all wheels are driven via the transfer case with an open centre differential. This means all four wheels will send power to the ground while acting independently of one another. This provides the Driver with extra traction on rough roads and when extra control is needed on bitumen.

4HLC (4WD High Range- Locked Centre Differential)

When things start getting rugged, activating 4HLC locks the centre differential. This means all four wheels front and rear will receive equal power to help maintain  vehicle stability and control. 

4LLC (4WD Low Range with locked Centre Differential)

When traction is at an all time low, activating LLC puts the transmission into a lower gear set, allowing power to be delivered slowly through the locked centre differential to all four wheels. This provides excellent traction on steep hills, and and snow.

Cars are often advertised or reported as having an ANCAP Safety Rating, but what does it mean? 

ANCAP Safety Ratings are published for a range of new passenger, sport utility (SUV) and Light Commercial Vehicles (LCV) entering the New Zealand and Australian and New Zealand markets, using a rating of 0 to 5 Stars. 

ANCAP safety ratings indicate the level of safety a vehicle provides for occupants and pedestrians in the event of a crash, as well as its ability-through technology- to avoid or minimise  the effects of a crash. These independent safety ratings are used to compare the relative safety between vehicles of a similar mass. 

These Safety Ratings are determined  based on a series of internationally recognised, independent crash tests and safety assessments- involving a range of destructive physical crash tests an assesment of on-board safety features and equipment and performance testing of active collision avoidance technologies. 

Vehicles will be evaluated against four key areas from January 1st 2018. 

• Adult Occupant Protection
• Child Occupant Protection
• Pedestrian Protection
• Safety Assist

There is a range of tests and assesments conducted in each area, with vehicles required to meet the minimum score thresholds for each star rating level.  The overall star rating is limited by the lowest performing area of assessment.

Below is a breakdown of the Four Areas and the how they are Scored/Rated. 

Loading up the boot with your hands full has never been easier with Volkswagen's Electric Tailgate. The Easy- Open function means simply by waving your foot under a sensor the tailgate opens which makes it extremely convenient when you are loaded down with lots of items. Closing the tailgate again is as easy as pressing a button or allowing the Easy Close function to shut the tailgate automatically as you move away from the vehicle. This Feature comes as standard on Highline and R-Line models. 

For added confidence in adverse driving conditions you can't go past Volkswagen's 4MOTION  all-wheel drive system with Active Control. Active Control allows you to tailor your driving experience by choosing one of four special all-wheel drive modes (snow, on-road and two off-road settings: one automatic and one variable) via a rotary switch.  A central button activates Driving  Profile Selection which offers further personalisation of the on-road mode with Eco, Normal and Sport profiles available to the driver. 

Technology never seen before in an SUV delivers new levels of Safety, Connectivity and ​Intuitive Driving. 


Blind Spot Monitoring:

Change lanes with confidence using the Eclipse Crosses Blind Spot Monitoring System. The System sounds an audible alert and displays a blinking warning alert in the door mirrors when the vehicle detects a high collision probability with a vehicle coming from behind in the same direction within 3.5m from Eclipse Crosses rear bumper or 70m from its rear bumper. 

 Rear Cross Traffic Alert:

​Rear Cross Traffic Alert helps detects moving vehicles when reversing. It alerts the Driver via an audible and visual signal. This system helps prevent the Driver from reversing into busy streams of traffic and potentially causing a collision.

 Adaptive Cruise Control:

This system uses radar technology to detect any vehicles in the lane ahead and adjusts your speed to keep the vehicle a safe distance from the car in front. This distance can be set by the Driver and this system is exceptionally useful for driving in busy streams of traffic in a safe and relaxing manner. 

​
Forward Collision Mitigation:

The Forward Collision Mitigation System detects obstructions ahead and issues a visual and audio alert when there is a danger of collision,automatically applying brakes to avoid collision or reduce impact. 


Auto High Beam:

Dusk Sensing Headlamps on the Eclipse Cross automatically illuminate in fading light or when you are travelling through a tunnel. The Auto High Beam detects both the oncoming headlights of vehicles and the tail lights of vehicles ahead automatically switching between high and low beam. 

Volkswagen's Front Assist or Front Collision Warning System has sensors in the front which helps monitor traffic  and can alert you to a potential collision. If a collision is imminent, Autonomous Emergency Braking  can help brake the car. 

Volkswagen's Side Assist provides assistance when you want to change lanes from speeds of 10km/h upwards. Sensors in the rear of the vehicle monitor traffic and should they detect any road users in your blind spot or vehicles approaching quickly from behind, the system will alert you via a warning light within the door mirror housing. 

Volkswagen's Park Pilot has sensors that can help you back out of or drive into parking or tight spaces.  Audible signals as well as a visual display of sensors through the vehicles infotainment system display how much room the driver has behind the vehicle and in some cases in front of the vehicle when parking. 

Volkswagen's optional Adaptive Cruise Control system helps maintain a preset distance from the vehicle in front of you. If the vehicle in front of you speeds up or slows down the ACC system will detect the change and adjust your vehicles speed accordingly. 

Volkswagen's Rear Traffic Alert means awkward Blind Spots when reversing are no longer.  The sensors in the rear of the vehicle alert you to vehicles crossing your path when in reverse and can brake for you if need be.  This prevents the Driver from reversing into busy streams of traffic and potentially resulting in a collision.

1. Make sure your vehicle is ready for the journey:
    In the days before your journey make sure you check the tyres, oil and water, check the windscreen washer fluid and fill up with fuel.  Turn the Air Conditioning on full before leaving and ensure it is working correctly. Or book in for a $99 Air Conditioning Special, which re-gasses your vehicles air conditioning and makes sure it is all working correctly.  Remember if you are planning on towing a trailer to check that as well, or book it in with our service department for a Warrant Of Fitness before departing. (Bookings subject to availability)  

2.Load up your vehicle the night before:
    Stress-levels are sure to rise if you attempt to pack your vehicle  on the day you are leaving.  Fitting everything in your vehicle in a rush is a recipe for disaster and a sure-fire way to start your holiday under stress.  It's much easier to pre-select items such as snacks and music before you leave. 

3.Pack an Extra Cellphone Charger:
   It may be a small item, but having a cellphone charger  spare can make all the difference and make a popular member of the family if some-one else forgets theirs. Having a Charger plugged into the Cigarette Lighter in your vehicle is also handy as it means if something untoward does occur and you need to call for assistance, at least you will have a charged phone. 

4.Drive to the Conditions:
   Always be aware of the conditions, both weather and road. There is often increased traffic over the holiday period and this may mean that trips take longer, so be sure to allow more time. Drive defensively by letting quicker vehicles pass and ensure you keep a safe following distance in case the vehicle in front of you makes a mistake. 

5.Drive Smoothly, Save Fuel:
    If you are travelling a long distance save fuel by driving smoothly, anticipating what is ahead and minimising  heavy acceleration and braking. Smoother is Faster and your passengers will thank you as well.
